Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
• 2 ounces white chocolate (for drizzling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips using a spatula.

Step 6

Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them as they will spread slightly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 9

Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake the slices for an additional 10 minutes. Flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes, until crisp and golden.

Step 11

Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 12

If desired, melt the additional white chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled biscotti for a decorative touch. Allow the chocolate to set before serving or storing.
